Perhaps the greatest thing about episode 198 of Entertainment 2.0 is that Richard returned to the show to help Josh out! It was a good thing he did too, because there was a lot of news to cover. Fortunatley you don’t have to worry about the length of this episode though. Despite having so much to talk about the pair some-how managed to rip through it all fairly quickly (at least for them). As we get closer to Microsoft releasing all of its new products later this month there is plenty to talk about with the Xbox 360, Windows 8, and Windows Phone 8. Josh and Richard covered it all, and even found room to discuss a competitor to Windows Media Center! If you’re not listening live you’re missing a lot of fun, so make sure to join Josh and Richard for the live recording of the next episode of the show next Wednesday, October 17th at 8pm ET!

I like having MS points. Point cards go on sale at times or someone could be selling them at a discount. Currency cards rarely if ever go on sale.
